    Hey all,
    This is actually my first joining of an internet fish/reef forum of any sort, although I've been at the saltwater fish hobby for 10+ years and reef tanks for 5+ years. I currently have a 29 gal fish only tank and a 55 gal reef setup. Using basic LED lights on the fish only tank and 54W T5 x 6 (3 actinic/2 10K daylight/1 purple) on the 55 gal.

    Have mainly been keeping it simple with the soft corals, nothing too complicated.
    I live in a small town in New Mexico, and the nearest fish store is ~2 hours away, so I've gotten pretty good at anticipating my fish tank needs since it's been a mostly internet-based operation in obtaining fish/coral stuff thus far.

    My wife and I are expecting twin girls in about 5 months, so in anticipation of me having far less time to research fish stuff on my own, I though I'd join so I could ask questions more easily ;D, although I also look forward to being of whatever assistance I can to others as well.

    Welcome to 3reef, and congrats on the twins!! I started up my first two reef tanks the week after my first daughter was born :) My daily fish time is after 7:30 once she is in bed ;)

    welcome to 3reef and congrats on the babies! Twins will definitely cut into your fish time :) but in a very awesome way obviously! Are these your first children?

    Just FYI, we love to see pictures on this site. Would really enjoy seeing pics of your tanks!

    Welcome but we can't buy into you "having tanks" until you post pictures. Just saying
